MAPAC

Description:

MAPAC is a dry powdered organic polymer which forms a clean, colloidal solution in fresh or brine water. MAPAC is primarily used to reduce fluid loss, increase viscosity, and/or extend bentonite-based drilling fluids. Due to its properties MAPAC can minimize mud rings and reduce torque and circulating pressures as well as rod vibration. It can also be used to enhance bentonite systems, improving suspension and well cake building properties, and in air drilling foams to improve hole stabilizing and clean capabilities. MAPAC and Bio-Cut Plus will enhance clay stabilization.

Application:

Slowly add MAPAC to the mud tank in the vortex of the high speed stirrer. To improve dispersion, mix MAPAC into slurry with Bio-Cut Plus.

Dosage:

If adding MAPAC to water to stabilize water-sensitive formations, use 3-5 lbs. of MAPAC per 100 gallons of water (4.5-7.5 kg/1000 liters). If using MAPAC to reduce rod vibration, torque, and/or circulation pressure, use 0.5-1.0 lbs. per 100 gallons (0.7-1.5 kg 1000 liters) of water. Use 0.5-1.5 lbs. of MAPAC per 100 gallons (0.7-1.7 kg 100 liters) if used with air drilling foams such as Matex DD Foam 1560.

Handling:

Avoid breathing powdered dust. Use in a well-ventilated area or use a mask.

Shipping and Storage:

MAPAC is shipped in 39 lb. (18 kg) pail containers and should be kept dry prior to use.
